Vallon Zek  

Ok his respawn isnt 15hrs 25min. As with most of PoP. 3 days plus or minus 12 hours. Server reset not withstanding.

Don't do damage on agro to him.

I walked up with my 110 paladin and hit attack - dropped him to 1% life in about 2 seconds. This caused him to bug. He turned invulnerable and started walking/running away.
He healed SUPER slow, so I ended up leaving and coming back a few hours later. Then I agroed him with a non-damage spell - this started the event properly.

killed on cazic 08oct2016 around 4'ish PM PDT

If ever curious whether or not Vallon has been killed already in the earlier hours after a patch, run to his room and click the doors at the rear. If doing so ports you to the safe room along the hallway from zi/zo to the arena - he has already been killed. If by clicking on the door you receive a message that reads *The doors are held shut by magical forces* Vallon has yet to pop.

Just something I noticed while gearing up some alts.

All you have to do to find the real VZ is type "/target Vallon_Zek00" he is always the first to spawn giving him the 00 behind his name.

Okay so I agro'ed him beat him halway down and he split off into 5 in the center. Please note that if you kill the real one he will spawn 5 more in the center. There was 4 or 5 waves I'm not sure which because I was randomly picking mobs to kill and triggered around 13 over them, they killed my merc twice and me once but I manged to come back and finish them all off. So keep coming back if you wipe.

i have done this with paladin/druid/druid/bard
(VT/ikkinz gear)

standard one group setup would be:

warrior/paladin with 8khp, shaman/chanter, bard, fill in dps here, fill in dps here, fill in dps here

*note: this event despawns if you leave the vallons sitting there too long (i'll say 15 minutes, it hasn't happened to me for over a year), or don't kill the real one within a timeframe

lets assume your in the only safe corner in VZ's room by now. let your bard pull vallon zek, standard mob killing procedure, slow dps heal etc., think he hits around 800 if i remember correctly, then VZ should depop around 60-70%, cant remember, and split into 5 in the middle of the room. Have your bard go out and kite all the vallons in a big circle, trying not to agro the ogres. (careful, dont stop they run damn fast and will own you if your not careful or lagging, and no selos indoors.) If the bard dies have someone pull the bards corpse to the stairs nearest the group, and when rezzed, leave 1 item on the corpse, and have the cleric cast 0% rez on the corpse on each kite the bard does, so if he gets in trouble (and cant DA!)he can take the rez and wipe agro, and use it to split since he will be out of mana after dying) Have someone designated in your group to target the real vallon zek and keep his target. (REAL VZ RUNS FASTER THAN THE OTHERS AND CASTS, YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL WHICH ONE IS REAL)
once someone has the real one targetted, have your bard FM the mobs (not on your group!) and assist the person targetting the real one, (the group assist main tank leader AA really helps to distinguish between the 5, if you have it its a +) and start kiting them again, cast harmony of the sound on the real one, and single target snare song on him after that, once hes snared, get *enough* distance, i cant tell you how much really, between the real one and the 4 fakes, FM(or take rezbox) and try to grab him solo from the rest of the pack, (use your bard to pull) if he agroes the others just FM (or take rezbox, you may need to die if its about time for the old corpse to graveyard if you died earlier.) Have someone pull your new corpse if you died to the old rez-box spot. Once the real Vallon Zek is solo pulled into your camp, just kill him he is no harder than a kriger in BoT. After the real one from the pack of 5 is dead, 5 more will spawn in the middle of the room. Have your cleric rez-box your bard, have your bard DA into the old 4 VZs and pull them into the corner on the other side of the stairs opposite your group (Very first Vallon's left.) and take rezbox. If they are with the new 5 vallons, its ok youll just be kiting 9 instead of 4, be much more cautious. Split him in the same way and when you get him solo, make sure you either have the other 4 away from the middle, or have your bard dump them into the corner before the Vallon you are killing is dead. Do the Split/Kill/Dump process about 5 times i *think* and you'll have beaten the event, the last "real" vallon has loot on it.

hope i helped someone, if I messed up somewhere on this strat, either reply or i'll try to fix it if i notice it sometime :)

good luck

so why is Rallos show to lvl 70 and Vallon to be 75 that makes no sense i've beating Vallon many time if rallos lower should be easier fight ill let u know

I have been trying to kill RZTW with my guild now for about a month. Many of you have figured out TZ and VZ are now unsplitable...and guess what...the adds that come with them after you kill the TZ/VZ triggers DO NOT RESPOND TO AGGRO!

Thats right. I snared some one of the mobs 5 times and didnt even get aggro when they were at 99% life.

I think this gameplan will work:

3 tanks needed. Tank one on TZ (have him face TZ towards the wall or away from the raid). Tank 2 on RZ with sufficient healage. Tank 3 on adds that come with TZ/VZ. Have enc keep other adds mezzed while tank 3 and the other 69 people in the guild kill the adds ASAP. This gives Tanks 1 and 2 time to build aggro, and really, it shouldnt take 69 people more than a minute or two to kill 4 - 6 adds (I think its originally 4 adds, but one or two of them split into two mobs).

Let me know if this works, please.

I have heard that this is the hardest one of the brothers to fight but i know for a fact that Rallos is harder. We took this guy easy but rallos was 5 times harder
